Council of Chaldea
|
The Council of Chaldea (Japanese: カルデアの公会議, Hepburn: Karudea no kōkaigi) was a council between the Catholic Church and the Pythagorean Institute held in the year 882. Together they established a new organisation known as the Church in order to bring peace to the chaotic world. The Pythagorean Institute became a secret organisation under the direct command of the Church, and its name eventually disappeared from the historical record.[1][1.1]
Behind the scenes
Etymology
Council
An ecumenical council, also called general council, is a meeting of bishops and other church authorities to consider and rule on questions of Christian doctrine, administration, discipline, and other matters in which those entitled to vote are convoked from the whole world and which secures the approbation of the whole Church.
Chaldea
Chaldea was a small country that existed between the late 10th or early 9th and mid-6th centuries BC, after which the country and its people were absorbed and assimilated into the indigenous population of Babylonia. In ancient times, it was believed that Chaldeans were skilled in astronomy. The reputation of Chaldeans for possessing magical powers became so widespread that the name "Chaldean" became synonymous with the word magician.[2] The association between Chaldea and the Cathedral City likely arose due to this and the Cathedral City's nature as the origin of all magic.
